As the birthplace of Hip-Hop, the Bronx has come to hold a special significance to the culture. Perhaps, that’s part of the reason why it was selected by Effen Vodka as the location to premier Effen Gamers Night. The bi-weekly event was hosted by none other than Hot 97’s Hip-Hop Gamer and Jack Thriller. Hometown heroes such as the iconic DJ Kay Slay, and the artistic savant, Puma of VH1, came through and blessed the function with their appearance.
The evening boasted an array of spirits from beer, Sweet B#### Champagne and, of course, Effen Vodka. Slices of tasty pizza were available to help soak up any excess indulgence. Regardless of the amount of consumption, many of the attendees were focused on the two featured games. Throughout the night, both NBA 2K16and NBA Live 16 demanded the gamers’ attention.

Effortlessly incorporating hit after hit, he took the listener on a invigorating ride. From Snoop, Jeezy, Yo Gotti, Nas, YG, Fred The Godson, Billy G Williams, and Jay Z — there weren’t any whisper-kitten lyrics from his scratching on the 1’s & 2’s.
What next two games should be featured at Effen Gamers Night?
